Twenty works of Theophilos from the Emporiki Bank Collection will be exhibited in the Benaki Museum (Main Building) from September 15 to October 31.

The exhibition offers a close-up look to the work of the folklore painter from Lesvos and his world of history, mythology, and nature.

This is the first time that the Bank’s Theophilos collection is shown in its entirety. The exhibition will be accompanied by the publication Theophilos (Athens, 1967), edited by Yannis Tsarouhis.
